Be warned: I know absolutely nothing about playing a
guitar ("don't blame me, I'm only the piano player"??).

Here are three sets of guitar chords, which I understand to relate to the
popular
'Victorian
version' of
Waltzing
Matilda', and which I've copied directly from the emails that I've received
from the contributers.

A colleague at the A.N.U., David Walsh, provided me with what he
assures me are the chords for accompanying Waltzing Matilda on the guitar.

I subsequently received
a
revision from Peter McPhee, virtually at colosseum.com, and physically just
north of Toronto (who was actually looking for the chords for 'Star-Spangled
Banner' - and fell over this instead).

D A Bm G D
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
D A7 D A7 D
Under the shade of coolibah tree
D A Bm G
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled
D A7 D
You'll come a-waltzing matilda with me
Chorus:
D G D
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
D G D D A
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
D A7 Bm G
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled
D A7 D
You'll come a-waltzing matilda with me
D A Bm G D
Down came a jumbuck to dri-ink at that billabong
D A7 D A7 D
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
D A Bn G
And he sang as he stuffed that jumbuck in his tucker-bag
D A7 D
You'll come a-waltzing matilda with me
[Chorus]
D A Bm G D
Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred
D A7 D A7 D
Up rode the troopers, one, two, three
D A Bm G
"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag?"
D A7 D
You'll come a-waltzing matilda with me
[Chorus]
D A Bm G D
Up jumped the swagman and sprang into that billabong
D A7 D A7 D
"You'll never take me alive!", said he
D A Bm G
And his ghost may be heard as you pa-ass by that billabong
D A7 D
You'll come a-waltzing matilda with me
[Chorus]

And here is what was supplied to me by Nick R. virtually from Geocities, and
physically who-knows-where:
